His Soul Power was tested afterward, and unsurprisingly, he had innate full Soul Power at level ten.

Bibi Dong said, "Since you have the gift of twin martial souls, which Martial Soul do you plan to cultivate first? The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum or the ghost Martial Soul?"

Gui Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Teacher, I want to cultivate the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul first."

Then Gui Yuan paused. "But I don't plan to follow the Power Attack System path like Dad One. I plan to follow the Food System instead."

"The Food System?"

Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and the others were all somewhat surprised by Gui Yuan's answer.

After all, unless they had no choice, who would want to cultivate the Food System, which had no ability to protect oneself and could only provide support?

"Your reason?" A trace of curiosity appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes as well.

Gui Yuan smiled. "Teacher, I learned from Dad One that my Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul should exist in reality, and that it's a legendary, edible immortal herb."

"And Dad One said that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum has a special ability: it can forge an invulnerable body. But to obtain that physique, you have to consume it."

"This Martial Soul possesses the ability to give a Soul Master an Indestructible Vajra Body, rather than being an Indestructible Vajra Body itself. While the Power Attack path is also suitable, what it strengthens is the Martial Soul itself."

"A Soul Master can only obtain an Indestructible Vajra Body by using Soul Skills. But that might not be the case if I follow the Food System."

"Also, since the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is an immortal-grade Martial Soul, if I cultivate it as a Food System, the effects of the 'food' it produces might be beyond what other Food System Soul Masters can compare with."

"Besides, Teacher, if I only had one Martial Soul, I definitely wouldn't choose the Food System path."

"But I have two Martial Souls now. Not only do I have Dad One and Dad Two protecting me, but I also have you as my teacher. I can absolutely follow the Food System in the early stages, then add Soul Rings to my second Martial Soul later."

Seeing how well-reasoned Gui Yuan's words were, Bibi Dong's lips curved slightly.

"In that case, spend this time practicing Spirit Hall's meditation method first. There's no hurry to hunt Soul Beasts."

"Over the next few days, I'll have someone look into which species of Soul Beast would provide Soul Rings suitable for you to absorb."

Bibi Dong said to Yue Guan, "You two may leave for now. Take him to learn the meditation method."

"Yes, Your Holiness," Yue Guan and Gui Mei replied, then withdrew with Gui Yuan.

Outside the hall.

Yue Guan lightly tapped Gui Yuan on the head and smiled. "You little rascal, that really was a good idea."

"Still, this also makes up for a regret of mine." Yue Guan sighed. "When I first started cultivating, I didn't know my Martial Soul was the legendary Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. And I was all alone back then, so I chose the most common path, the Power Attack System, which offered the best means of protecting myself."

"Although I cut an imposing figure now as a Level 95 Titled Douluo, this is as high as I can go."

As Yue Guan spoke, a hint of desolation showed in his eyes.

Although he was a Level 95 Power Attack System Titled Douluo, he was not particularly powerful among Power Attack System Soul Masters of the same level.

The reason was just as Gui Yuan had said earlier. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum possessed the ability to gain an Indestructible Vajra Body, so after he followed the Power Attack path, it became as sharp as a blade.

But Yue Guan himself did not have an invulnerable body. He could not cultivate one.

Gui Yuan could roughly tell what Yue Guan was thinking.

In the original story, Yue Guan had been utterly shocked upon sensing that Indestructible Vajra Body in Dai Mubai.

He had even wanted to take Dai Mubai as his disciple on the spot. For that, he could promise Dai Mubai that he would only kill Tang San.

Of course, this was not actually just because Dai Mubai possessed an Indestructible Vajra Body. At its root, it was because he had consumed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Thus, only by following the Food System could Gui Yuan obtain an Indestructible Vajra Body.

Besides, he actually had a thought in mind: who said following the Food System meant having no ability to protect oneself?

Weren't Oscar and Xu Lizhi from the original story two examples?

One had the Mirror Image Sausage, the other the Destruction Pork Bun.

And what about his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?

While serving as the foundation for his Food System, what sort of self-protection abilities could it develop? Would they be offensive or defensive?

Gui Yuan was very curious, and he looked forward to it as well.

Gui Mei said from beside them, "The Food System? Not bad either. In any case, although your second Martial Soul can't absorb Soul Rings for now, I can teach you how to use it first."

Gui Mei sounded somewhat reflective. "Actually, I never thought you would inherit my Martial Soul, because mine is mutated."

"A Soul Master's descendants are generally more likely to inherit their normal Martial Soul."

Gui Yuan teased him, "Dad Two, have you forgotten? I came along after you two entered the Qiankun Asking Love Valley."

Gui Mei: ...True enough.

Gui Mei's hoarse voice rang out. "Then I'll have to tell you all about my Martial Soul. My Martial Soul is actually my soul itself."

"And you can be considered to have inherited my Martial Soul. That has its advantages and disadvantages."

"The advantage is that you have a second Martial Soul. The disadvantage is that you even inherited my Martial Soul's netherworld attribute. That means your second Martial Soul only has two paths for absorption: one is to absorb Soul Rings with netherworld or darkness attributes, and the other is to absorb attributeless Soul Rings."

Gui Mei paused, then said, "Do you have any thoughts on how to cultivate your second Martial Soul?"

Earlier in the Pope's Palace, Gui Yuan had only spoken about his cultivation plans for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, not his second Martial Soul, so he was somewhat curious.

Gui Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Dad Two, since my second Martial Soul is a soul, and the soul is closely connected to Spiritual Power..."

"So I probably won't follow the agility attack path like you. Instead, I'll take an all-rounder path. If there are mental-attribute Soul Rings, I'll absorb those. Apart from that, adding a few of your concealment and assassination Soul Skills should be enough."

"Mental-attribute Soul Rings? To think you even know about those." Yue Guan smiled. "Where did you learn that? Neither of us has taught you yet."

Gui Yuan said, "Sister Nana mentioned them. Isn't her Martial Soul the Demon Fox? The Soul Rings she absorbs have the mental attribute."

"Besides, she's really 'mischievous.' She likes giving off a seductive air, picking on me just because I'm little."

"Once I've cultivated my Spiritual Power, just watch me turn the tables on her," Gui Yuan said with all seriousness.

Hu Liena was a face-con to begin with, and his looks were fairly good. On top of that, he was currently a little pretty boy. Who knew whether that had triggered some particular trait in Hu Liena?

Yue Guan and Gui Mei were his Dad One and Dad Two, while Hu Liena was Bibi Dong's disciple, so they had known each other for a long time.

Gui Mei said mildly, "Mm, there's no hurry to decide on your second Martial Soul's cultivation path. We have plenty of time, so we can give it some more thought."

"I'm rather curious what sort of Food System Soul Skills your Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum can obtain. As I recall, the Douluo Continent still doesn't have a Food System Titled Douluo..."
